No one can say: It's shorter than it ought to be. Focus on the positive - take all your meds religiously. Maintain good nutrition. Exercise daily to the extent you're able, even if it's very minimal. Stay optimistic and engaged in interesting activities. No one knows (incl doctors) how long one's life will be and many people outlive what their doctors guess. Concentrate on quality of life rather than longevity.

Lets check!: You can find several "life expectancy" calculators on the web. Also, speaking with your insurance agent. They have sophisticated mechanisms for making estimates of a person's life expectancy.
